So sorry, I really was too lazy for this and was NOT going to go through the hassle of making my own video, and this is the shortest one I could hijack. Believe it or not. EVERYONE seems to think they are doing some GRAND MAGICAL PHENOMENON when it’s just 3 moves. We’re not David Blaine, guys! Come on! Open the shit! Insert the shit! Close the shit!

THIS IS THE OFFICIAL HARD DRIVE

THIS IS WHAT THE ONE YOU ARE GOING TO NEED LOOK LIKE –

With Western Digital 2.5 (“laptop hard drives) you can do it using certain models (list below), and I’m not going to pretend like I knew that naturally and go into here, so I’ll post a little link here to where you can find the models out yourself:

There is only a certain way you can make a 2.5 hard drive you bought at Best Buy into an Xbox friendly storage device Flash the hard drive and the file system must be FAT32.

Those same directions are on that link up there with the models, and you will see that you will need a combination of a program (software) and a way to connect to it (such as a SATA to USB adapter with power supply).

Here are other instructions from a different forum pasted here. Hope this helps you find what took me going to 5 different places, and could still be expanding- because I really would have liked for this to be done on any hard drive, not just units from the WD brand. Feel free to share how you can do this if there is away up there, the floor is open. I will not update this post, I was just pissed I had to go to different places to find the answers.
